eddie – I will finally tell you who that was who saw Inuyasha and Kagome. Don't worry. I'll tell all about who it was in this chapter!
Chapter 6 –And Now The Fun BeginsWe walked into Inuyasha's apartment. It was dark and it seemed to have an eerie feeling surrounding it.
I turned on the lights and looked around. The place was messy. Inuyasha was messy, but even he wouldn't leave papers and trash all over the floor. Something was up.
"Kagome!" I heard Miroku shout from the kitchen.
"What is it Miroku?"
He stood there, with a piece of paper in his hand.
"It's from Naraku."
I grabbed the paper from Miroku and started to read:
Hojo:
I have Inuyasha. I took him down to the sewers under Carson's. I will be expecting my pay soon.
I wish you well with that bitch of a girl. It seems these two had a very passionate relationship.
Naraku
"Of course! Only Naraku would be able to hurt Inuyasha." Sango had been reading over my shoulder.
"Inuyasha…"
"Don't worry Kagome. We'll get him back." Miroku smiled at me.
I smiled back at him. Then he got a little closer to me and put his arm around me, friendly at first. But, then it got a little lower—"Hentai!" I smacked him.
"Itai. When did girls get so violent?"
"When guys got to be so perverted."
We searched the apartment through and through. We found a cracked window, his stuff all over, thrown this way and that. I couldn't stand it. Where was Inuyasha?
~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~****
We kept searching the apartment til it was after 8 o'clock. I was tired and I felt like I could start to cry at any minute.
"Kagome? Don't worry. We'll get Inuyasha back." Sango looked at me hopefully.
"Thanks Sango."
I was tired and I couldn't stand being in this apartment anymore. I decided I might as well go. I was tired and hungry. Not a good combination.
"Ja ne. I'll meet you tomorrow at 5-80 ok?"
"Alright. We'll meet you there. About 12?"
"Hai. That will work."
"Sayonara, Kagome. Keep yourself safe."
"Thank you, Miroku."
"Ja ne, Kagome."
"Ja ne, Sango, Miroku."
I walked down the steps of the apartment building and went the opposite way of them down the street. I just hoped nothing would happen while I was out.
~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~****
My phone rang. I had absolutely no concept of it ringing, but I woke up to an annoying sound.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Kagome?"
This was a dream. That was Inuyasha's voice.
"Inuyasha!?"
"Hai, it is me."
"Inuyasha!"
"Shh! I'm trying to call you without them noticing."
"Where are you?"
"I'm in a basement of some house. All I remember was at my apartment the night before we were supposed to go out. Naraku came and knocked me out and I woke up here."
"Are you alright?"
"Hai, I'm fine. But are you ok?"
"Hai. I had to eat with Hojo at Adrienne's."
"Did he say anything…. suspicious?"
"Iie."
"…"
"Inuyasha, can you please tell me as soon as you can where you are? I want to help you."
"Kagome, don't get involved."
"You said no more interruptions. You promised."
"Gomen nasai. I wish I was there right now, to hold you and kiss you and tell you how much I love you."
"I love you too."
"I know."
"Don't be sorry."
"…"
"Kagome, I wish I was not here."
"I miss you."
"I miss you."
"Kagome, I have to go. Naraku is back. I love you."
"I love you, Inuyasha. I love you."
"I won't die. I promise, I won't get hurt. I promise you."
"I love you Inuyasha. I don't want to go."
"Kagome, if he finds you, I won't stand for it! I love you. I have to go."
The phone gave a sharp click and he was gone.
I slumped down and cried into my pillow all night. I couldn't stop. I didn't want to.
~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~**** ~~~~****
Sango and Miroku were quite interested in the conversation.
"If only we knew where he was." Miroku sighed.
"All we have is a basement." Sango perked in.
"Naraku's?" Miroku asked.
"Don't know." I said.
"Do you know where he hangs out?" I asked.
"No clue." Miroku sighed again.
"Umm, may I take your order?"
We all jumped up at that. We had been so wrapped up in our conversation we hadn't noticed him standing there. I wonder how much of the conversation he really heard.
"Uh, a Macedonian feta salad, no capers." Sango looked a little embarrassed.
"A steak sandwich, no mayo, no pickles." Miroku had a pink tint on his cheek.
"Umm, kielbasa and sauerkraut." I felt myself grow hot.
"I'll put those orders in right away."
"That was close." Sango looked a little worried.
"Don't worry about it Sango." Miroku looked lovingly at Sango.
"Hentai!" Snago slapped Miroku across the face. It was obvious what Miroku had done. Again.
"Shut up, both of you. Acting like such children." I stifled back a laugh.
Miroku and Sango sat down and tried at least to behave.
He still ended up with 3 slaps on the face, a knot on the head, and a nice purple bruise on the side of his face.
"Love? It is supposed to be good, gentle and kind."
"All is fair in love and war." Sango pointed out.
If only Inuyasha were here. It would be just like old times. But he was missing again. I felt myself tearing up again.
"Kagome?" Sango looked at me worriedly.
"I'm fine."
"Ok."
I barely touched my food. Kielbasa and sauerkraut were my favorite things here too. I just couldn't eat. Too much thought on Inuyasha.
I was glad when we left. I didn't think we would ever be able to talk again. With that waiter scare, we decided not to talk about the Inuyasha situation anymore in public.
"As we were saying…"
A/N: Anyway, I've hit writer's block. I have some ideas, they just aren't good. I need help with the little how Inuyasha gets out. I have no more ideas!
Anyway,
Youkai Luna Sakura
